FAQ

What is the purpose of the attached LAD4TBDL module?

The LAD4TBDL is a transient suppressor module with a bidirectional limiting diode. It is designed to protect the 24V DC coil from voltage spikes and surges, which enhances the relay’s reliability and lifespan, especially in noisy electrical environments.

Can this CAD32BD relay be used for directly switching a small motor?

While this is a control relay (prefix ‘CA’), it is primarily designed for control circuits (AC-15, DC-13). For direct motor switching, a power contactor (prefix ‘LC1D’) is recommended. However, it can switch very small loads if they are within its 10A thermal current rating and application category.

What does the ‘BD’ suffix in CAD32BD signify?

The ‘BD’ suffix in Schneider Electric’s TeSys D series indicates a low-consumption 24V DC coil. This type of coil is ideal for direct control by PLC outputs as it draws significantly less current than a standard DC coil, reducing the load on the PLC’s output card.
